On 26 May, PPC 2 trainees are invited to attend an ‘open day’ event which will showcase the supports available to them as newly-qualified solicitors.

The event will be opened by Director General Mark Garrett and information presentations will be made by teams from every department in the Law Society.

The event will be a blend of presentations and interactive polls and quizzes.

The goal of the event is to promote an easy transition between the Law School and the Law Society.

The sessions will cover:

• Structure of the Law Society,
• Tips on how to apply to go on the Roll of Solicitors,
